Hello Rebekah, I like the color better. This is a real difficult shot to execute because of the DOF issue. You will not be able to get all of the flowers in focus, so picking the focus point is crucial. As presented, the focus point doesn't jump out at me - it looks more towards the middle. This causes my eyes to jump back and forth to settle on the middle and wonder why there are so many other roses in the composition. Hopefully you see what I am getting at. Perhaps focus on the front flowers with the OOF slowly receding would be better - or fewer flowers - or much increased DOF, meaning tripod and stopped way down. Right now it just feels to busy without my eye comfortably settling on a subject.
